PL-1) A spring that hangs vertically is 25 cm long when no weight is attached to its lower end. Steve adds 250 g of mass to the

end of the spring, which stretches to a new length of 37 cm. What is the spring constant, k, in N/m?

Answer:

20.42 N/m

Explanation:

From hook's law,

F = ke ......................... Equation 1

Where F = Force applied to the spring., k = spring constant, e = extension.

Make k the subject of the equation,

k = F/e ................. Equation 2

Note: The force on the spring is equal to the weight of the mass hung on it.

F = W = mg.

k = mg/e................ Equation 3

Given: m = 250 g = 0.25 kg, e = 37-25 = 12 cm = 0.12 m.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 3

k = (0.25×9.8)/0.12

k = 20.42 N/m.

Hence the spring constant = 20.42 N/m

A dentist causes the bit of a high-speed drill to accelerate from an angular speed of 1.72 x 10^4 rad/s to an angular speed of 5
Leto [7]

Answer:

The bit take to reach its maximum speed of 8,42 x10^4 rad/s in an amount of 1.097 seconds.

Explanation:

ω1= 1.72x10^4 rad/sec

ω2= 5.42x10^4 rad/sec

ωmax= 8.42x10^4 rad/sec

θ= 1.72x10^4 rad

\alpha = \frac{w2^{2}-w1^{2}  }{2*(\theta2 - \theta1)}

α=7.67 x10^4 rad/sec²

t= ωmax / α

t= 8.42 x10^4 rad/sec  /  7.67 x10^4 rad/sec²

t=1.097 sec

A fuse in an electric circuit is a wire that is designed to melt, and thereby open the circuit, if the current exceeds a predete
zmey [24]

Answer:

The diameter of wire should be 4.04 \times 10^{-4} m

Explanation:

Given:

Current density J = 500 \times 10^{4} \frac{A}{m^{2} }

Current I = 0.64 A

From the formula of current density,

  J = \frac{I}{A}

Where A = area of cylindrical wire = \pi r^{2}

  \pi r^{2} = \frac{I}{J}

  r^{2} = \frac{I}{\pi J }

   r = \sqrt{\frac{0.64}{3.14 \times 500 \times 10^{4} } }

   r = 2.02 \times 10^{-4}m

For finding the diameter of wire,

   d = 2r

   d = 4.04 \times 10^{-4}m

Therefore, the diameter of wire should be 4.04 \times 10^{-4} m

Calculate 9 ∙ 10-5 divided by 3 ∙ 10-9. (Box after the "10" in answer is for the exponent.). ∙ 10 .
mote1985 [20]

The result of 9 ∙ 10-⁵ divided by 3 ∙ 10-⁹ is 3 × 10⁴. Details about exponential functions can be found below.

<h3>How to calculate multiplication involving exponentiation?</h3>

Exponentiation is the process of calculating a power by multiplying together a number of equal factors, where the exponent specifies the number of factors to multiply.

According to this question, the following exponential function is given:

9 × 10-⁵ ÷ 3 × 10-⁹

9/3 × 10-⁵+⁹

3 × 10⁴

Therefore, the result of 9 ∙ 10-⁵ divided by 3 ∙ 10-⁹ is 3 × 10⁴.

How is energy can be changed from one state to another?​
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat is probably the easiest energy you can use to change your physical state. The atoms in a liquid have more energy than the atoms in a solid. There is a special temperature for every substance called the melting point.They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. EXAMPLE: Solid ice melting into liquid
